Way can’t the city counci take steps “to grade Seventeenth and REighteenth streets, between Farnam and Harney, so asto enable the county commissioners " to extend the court house retaining walls and enclose the grounds this year? The commissioners are willing to contribute $2,000 to thewxpense of grading. If that amount'is not ‘enongh to complete the grado around the court house square, it certainly will leave very little for the¥| council to add if the grading is only ex- ‘tended from Farnam street to the alley. That would at least enable the county to complete the wall on the Farnam . street front and carry it back to the alley on Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets, Tre rules of the British postoffice with regard to offensive partisanship have re- cently found their way into the hands of Postmaster General Vilas. They read as follows: (1) That no postmaster or other servant of . the department shall serve on a committee having for its object to promote the return of aparticular eandidate. (2) That he shall ot support or oppose any partieular candi- date, either by public speaking or writing. 1 (8) “That no notice soliciting votes for any particular candidate shall be aflixed either within or without any postoftice or other ‘place under fhe control of the department, and that within such building no memorial oraddress with a purty object shall lie for signature or be exhibited. Why would it not be the right thing to . adopt these rules for this country? Por- haps the democratic editors who have ve- ‘gently been pensioned in the postal .servico would seriously object to pay for ‘substitutes to do the campaign writing and talking. “Tax Bell tolephone and the Western Union monopolies recently charged that Attorney-General Garland had given the pormission to institute the government suit against the Bell company at Memphis for the pnrpose of contesting the validity ofithe patent, and that it was improper forhim to do so because he was con- ‘mected with a competing telephone com- papy. It now transpires that Mr, Garland did not grant the per- mission, and was not in Washington when it was granted. The request “wasmade to the department of justice, “and the acting attorney-general granted the ‘permission. 1f General Garlund had ‘been presont and had refused to grant permission becauso of his personal re- Jations to another telephone company, " fowounld have been a great wrong and imposition that ho should permit his pri- wate affairs to prevent his performing a duty to the public. The Pan Electric “Pelephone company, in which it was charged that Mr, Garland was a stock- ‘iolder, has no interest in the National Improvement Telephone company, the suit at Memphis was petitioned for by citizens and not by telephone compa- nies, and the = expense attend- m it is provided for by ription. The Bell and Western Union monopolists have attempted in every way to throw “diseredit upon the suit that has been instituted and upon everybedy connocted therewith in any way. The associated p dispatches Mewmphis when the suit was insti- “tated were supprossed, as the monopalists id not want the public to learn that the walidity of their patents hidd been at- taokod. But the facts are becoming gon- senadly known, and the impression is that ithe Ball folks would not vesort to such ~ amatheds uness they considered the Mem- i sl more formidable affair than thoy Live yet bewn callod upon to Tree-Planting and Torest Preserva- ton. The peeple of this country are fast be- coming awarc of the jmportance of the planting of trees and the proservation of forests. The provecdings of the fourth annual meeting of the American Forestry congress, which has just been held in Boston, show that many able and influen- tlal men, from all parts of the country, are interested in this movement. This congress, or association as some might torm it, may be said to have originated from the Nebraska arbor day, which was established over ten years ago. The Ne- braska custom of planting trees on a cor tain day in the spring, which has ex- tended to other states, no doubt called the attention of the people everywhere to the importance of the preservation of our forests and suggested to thoughtful minds the organization of a forestry congress. The association was or- ganized in the spring of 1582 at Cin- cinnati, ot the instigation of Baron von Steuben, by several prominent men, and in August of the same year it was reor- a meeting in Montreal. It ield annual meetings, and each year its membership and influence are nere At the recent mecting in Boston some vory able addresses were delivered npon forestry by eminent men who have given the subject much thought and study. Much valuable information, numerous statistics and important suggestions were presented, and we have no doubt the re- sult will be un increased interest in for- estry. It was maintained by one of the speakers, Mr. Higley, the president of the association, that if China had had Prussia’s forests she would have escaped her terrible famines and floods. China has made agriculture almost » religion, und has done everything for irrigation, but nothing has proved suflicient to take the place of natural resources. Her troubles are largely due to the destruc- tion of her forests. There is abundant evidence in Ameriea of the effects of the cutting down of the forests. In central New York, where this has been done, streams that thirty years ago kept mills going and furnished a never failing sup- ply of running water, are now dry in summer, yet with the warm'rains and thaws of spring overflow their banks; spring is later, peaches will not ripen, droughts are more froquent, and in spring the freshets are more serious. The cutting of trees from the headwater of streams is also the caunse of the difl culty in navigating the large rivers in certain seasons. In China and India, in Greece and many sther coutries, the cut: ting off of the forests has proved the de- struction of the streams. Theforest areas exercise a positive climatic influence on the surrounding country. They equalize the temperature and the water supply, and agriculture and horticulture are aided and protected. People live and calculate for the present, and so dislike to pass over certain advantages of the pres- ent. Mr. Higléy claimed, however, that management of the present forests would entail to the present and future genera- tions benefits to all, but until profit is more certain from foresting few Ameri- cans will plant trees for such purposes. In referring to tree culturein Kansas and Nebraska the speaker stated that asa source of profit it was next to stock raising in those states. To show the profit in trees in other countries he quoted statistics from Prussia, which from her 6,000,000 acres of state forests, has an in- come of $7,000,000; Saxony, from her 400,000 ncres of forest, $1,250,000, and Bavaria from her 8,000,000 acres a profit of $4,500,000. The forests of Alsace and Lorraine are equally profitable. American forests have been extensive- ly denuded in recent years by various causes, In 1880 it is cstimated that fire destroyed 10,000,000 acres of forests. The railroads of this country have used for ties alone the product of an area larger than Rhode Island and’ Connecticut. Estimating that ties need be renewed, on an average, once in seven years, there must be drawn from the forest annually 56,571,428 ties, requiring the timber grow- ing on 0565714 acres. Allowing thirty years asthe time necessary to produce trees of proper dimensions for ties, it will require 16,971,420 acres of woodland to be kept constantly growing as a kind of railfoad reserve in order to supply the annual needs of the existing roads. This constitutes an area larger than the states of New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachiusetts com- bined, or the States of New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware, with tho addition of Conneoticut. It is more than 4 per cent of the total area of woodland in the United States, exclusive of the ter- ritories, and 3 per cent of the area in the states and territories together. With the rapid extension of our railroad systems, these figures will be proportionately in- creased. Hon. J. Sterling Morton, who repre- sented Nebraska in the congress, was given an enthusiastic reception as the originator of Arbor Day, which is now permanently established in eight or nine states. 1In tho course of his address to the congress he stated that when Ne- braska was first opened the state had nota single forest, but to-day there are 700,- 000;000 trees planted by human hands in Nebraska. Mr. Morton advoecated the repeal of the law imposing a duty on for- eign lumber, as it is destructive to our forests to a serious extent, “While we on the praivies make forests,” said Mr. Morton, “you in the east destroy them by keeping a high tariff on lumber.” It was no doubt a matter of pride to the originator of Arbor Day that the con- gress adopted a resolution recommend- ing thut hereafter on Decoration Day trees be planted by all Grand Army posts in the country, and that the day be henceforth designated as Arbor and Memorial Day. This will make a na- tional tree-planting day, and it is to be hoped that the recomumendation will be adopted. = ——— CounciLyay FugAy will introduce an ordinance to create the office of city vet- erinary, who is to act in conjunction with the state veterinary, This proposi- tion should meet the approval of the counciland the ordinance should be passed without delay. There are many cattl . refuse to serve out his term. condition. They are put on the market. and purchasers who are not familiar with live stock ailments, frequently buy and introduce them among their healthy stock. Valuable horses and blooded cattle nre thus exposed tocontagion which isliable to ontail great loss as well as to breed pestilence. The salary of the proposod veterinary is to be mominal. There are a number of expert horse and cattle doctors who would gladly accept | the position for the sake of the advertise- ment. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It is the duty of the city authorities to provide proper safe- guards against the spread of contagious diseases among live stock, and Mr. Tuo- ray's proposed ordinance is a step in the right direction. The Irrepressible Conflict. The letter of the exeeutive com- mittee of the Knights of Labor to Man. ager Callaway. of the Union Pacifie, in response to his own manifesto, while temperate in its tone, is caustio in its reference to the duplic- ity heretofore practiced by the com- pany in disclaiming responsibility for the employment of Chinese in the Wyoming mines, The Knights plant themselves on high ground when they cxpress abhorrence of the massacre of Chinamen and simply appeal for fair and humane treatment of white men who are compelled to support themselves and their families by toiling in the coal mines. They do not attempt to dictate, bully or threaten. They simply take a firm stand against the competition forced upon their co-employes by the im- portation of Chins There is a settled fact which the managers of the Union Pacitic cannot afford to ignore. There is as much of an irrepressible conflict be- tween the free white labor and the labor of Mongolian coolies, as thers was be- tween the free labor of the north and the slave labor of the south. Slavery and freedom could not exist side by side. The national laws of demand and supply would operate against the superior race, because its civilization has erected wants which are entirely unfelt by the serf ov coolie laborer. In the very nature of things, a Chinaman who bas no family to support is gontent to subsist on the most simple food, and can live comfortably in wretched quarters hardly fit to shelter a dog. The Chinaman will thrive and prosper where & white man with his wife and children must starve and perish. It is this utter inability to cope with such a eompetitor that impels the white laboring men of the Pacific const and the west o vise in révolt and demand that the Mongolian shall not be given a foothold on American soil. The Enights of Labor simply voice the overpowering sentiment of the great mass of American wage- workers who desire to avoid a deadly conflict for existence which would sooner or later cause o thousand Rock Springs riots, and might become the prelude to an uprising move desperate and bloody than the memorable outbreak of the com- mune. Prudence would dictate that . the corporations who have a vital interest in maintaining order and fostering peaco and prosperity should take warning in time from the lesson of Rock Springs. Manager Callaway and the Union Pacific directors have as much at stake as the Knights of Labor in keeping tho Chinese out and giving the white man a fair chance for an honest livelihood. ONEof the great problems of railway development has been to devise the means whereby trains could be keptin constant communication with every station and with ‘each other while in motion. We believe we are now on the eve of the solution of this problem. The most simple and effective device would bes an insulated rail with a metallic rim or band coming in contact with a similar strip of metal within the car whe Compressed paper wheels have been use in this country for several years, well as in Europe. Theyare pronounc more durable than the metallic wheels. A system of compressed pa rails has recently been introduced in Europe. An American company has established in St. Petersburg a large factory devoted to this special manufacture, anthorized by the Russian ministry of finance. The company i soon to construct a railway line from the capital, on the banks of the Neva, to Warsaw. Now paper rails and carwheels are al- most as perfect insulators as any matori- al used for that purpose, and it will not require a great genius to invent a practi- cal conductor that can bo attached to the rail and connect with the wheels of any railway carriage or car. Such a con- nection would enablo an operator to keep moving railway trains in communi- cation with each other and with the train dispatchers, Whenever this system comes into general use muny of the acci- dents and delays to which railway travel is now subjoect will be done away with, Mg. WOODMAN, we are told, proposes to resign hig position as & member of the board of public works in case the council confirms Mr, Brunner. Mr. Woodman claims to have no personal enmity to- ward My. Branner, butsexpresses o Inck of confidence in that gentloman. Mr, Woodman would hardly be justified in going out of the board on & more sus- picion that another member will be par- tinl to certain contractors of public works. Whateyer the council may do in the case of Mr, Brunner we can see no good reason why Mr. Woodman should His second sober thought must convince him that such action is not in the public interest.

So far as the first mentioned sig Jice is concerned we imagine the peopls of Dakota would find themselves subject to the constitu- tion of the United States, which provides that “the congress shall have power to dispose of and make all necdful rules and ulations pecting the territory or other property ngm,." to the United States;" and, so far as the other is con- cerned, the provision of the national con- stitution, that “the Uni Stat 11 guarantee to every state in this Union rv]n;hfiu:m form “of government,” will apply.
